There are often a lot of feelings that come with an assessment, we aim to make the whole process as smooth and validating as possible 💚

Thinking about a neurodevelopmental assessment can come with a lot of uncertainty... 😰

Many people imagine it as something daunting or impersonal before they begin. For many, the experience is centred on feeling supported, gaining clarity, and making sense of lifelong experiences. Wherever you are in your journey; just noticing patterns, weighing up an assessment, or waiting for an appointment, questions and mixed feelings are completely normal. At Evolve we aim to give you the best possible experience throughout each stage of your assessment and welcome any feedback that can help us to improve our service for future clients.

🤝Our clinicians bring years of experience in their specialist fields, alongside a breadth of lived experience, shaped by neurodiversity within our teams.

💻 If you're still unsure about an assessment you can check out our website for more information on Evolve in the UK & Ireland, see how the assessment process works and meet our team!

💻You may also be anxious about sitting on a wait list, you can check out our private pathway options - now launched in Ireland as well!

The unexpected emotion that came with a late diagnosis...

This Time to Talk Day, Beth, our Business and Client Relationship Manager, shares her experience of navigating mental health following a life-changing diagnosis. In this personal reflection, she opens up about the unexpected emotions that surfaced, and the often-unspoken grief that can come with adjusting to a new reality later in life.

💬"Some neurodivergent conditions can develop, or not be diagnosed until later in life.
Developing epilepsy as an adult, I expected emotions such as anxiety, frustration, and even relief. What I didn’t expect was grief.
Grief can seem dramatic to those who haven’t experienced such a sudden change in the life they thought they were living. But it’s real. I grieved the loss of independence, the freedom to leave the house without fear, to sleep without worry, to be on my own without that feeling something bad is going to happen. Every “first time” now comes with the question: could this trigger a seizure?

Over time, I realised I wasn’t just adjusting to the physical and mental impact of epilepsy, I was mourning the carefree life I had before it.
Grief isn’t reserved for death. It can come with any major life change. And it’s okay to grieve while learning to live with a new normal." 💬

Thank you to Beth for her openness in sharing such a personal story. We know many of you may relate in different ways, and we want to remind you that talking about your mental health matters - not just on designated awareness days, but every day.

Talking about mental health matters — but only when people feel understood.

This Time to Talk Day, we’re sharing a blog about neurodivergence and mental health: why autistic people and those with ADHD face a higher mental health burden, and what helps when “just talking” isn’t enough.

💚 Today is Time to Talk Day, and we spent time catching up with our Mental Health First Aiders at Evolve.
Checking in with someone can be as simple as asking “how are you?” or taking a moment for a deeper conversation. Reaching out, listening, and showing you care can go a long way - and sometimes make all the difference. 💚

Small steps that can help while you’re waiting...

If you’re on a waiting list and wondering whether you should be doing more, you’re not alone. Many parents tell us the hardest part is feeling stuck - wanting to help, but not wanting to overwhelm their child or make the wrong move.

The good news is that support doesn’t have to be big or complicated. Small, steady steps at home can make a meaningful difference.

A few gentle ways to support your child...
⭐Use visual reminders
Post-it notes, simple charts, or visual prompts can support memory and language without adding pressure.
⭐Create a light, consistent routine
Short, regular practice - even 10 minutes once a week - can be more helpful than trying to do everything at once.
⭐Protect confidence outside school
Activities your child enjoys and feels good at matter. Success in other areas supports self-esteem when learning feels hard.
⭐Talk openly about learning differences

Let your child know that everyone learns differently - and that needing support isn’t a failure.
💡 You don’t have to fix everything right now. Small steps can help your child feel supported and understood while you wait.

Making assessments as easy as possible... 💚

At Evolve, we know that starting an assessment can feel overwhelming - so we work hard to make the entire process as smooth, accessible, and stress-free; from beginning to end, for you as an individual, or your family.

All registration and pre-assessment forms are completed online, allowing you to fill them out on your phone, tablet, or laptop at a time that suits you. Forms can be saved and returned to as often as you need, and if you’d prefer extra support, our clinicians can complete them with you over the phone or via Microsoft Teams. We also have access to translators, so language is never a barrier. 💬

Our in-person assessments are carefully planned around your needs. Our welcoming clinic space includes toys to help children feel relaxed with friendly clinicians to guide you through the day.

You can check out our 'what to expect at an assessment' video on our UK site.

A lot of our clinic locations have cafe's onsite, others have them in the close vicinity. Check out our UK and Ireland locations on the links below.

"Diane Fox in particular I found so pleasant! I had Diane for both my assessments without my daughter and she was so friendly and calming. I had plenty tears on the call to Diane and she was so patient, understanding and accommodating with me! She was super helpful with every aspect and kept double checking she’d done everything to make sure I was happy and content. She explained everything in so much detail and really broke down my daughter’s diagnosis for me! She followed up with emails after as-well including additional information and support!

Such a pleasant experience from evolve!!"

2026 is the National Year of Reading – but what if your child finds reading hard?

Some children find reading more of a frustration than a pleasure though, and parents may be wondering why.

Dyslexia may explain the challenges some children have with reading and writing. Around 10% of people are thought to have dyslexia, yet only 3% are diagnosed. This means many children – and adults – struggle with literacy without understanding the reason.

💬 An assessment doesn't always guarantee a diagnosis. This can be tricky to navigate but we want you to know this does not invalidate the challenges you face or your feelings of frustration.
You may not fit enough of the criteria to receive a diagnosis. This doesn't mean you can't access support though! It's vital you feel seen, heard and not alone. 🤝
